Humble Pie

To eat humble pie. To come down from a position you have
assumed, to be obliged to take “a lower room.” “Umbles” are the heart,
liver, and entrails of the deer, the huntsman's perquisites. When the
lord and his household dined the venison pasty was served on the daïs,
but the umbles were made into a pie for the huntsman and his fellows.

N.B. Pie and patty are both diminutives of pasty. Pasty and patty
are limited to venison, veal, and some few other meats; pie is of far
wider signification, including fruit, mince, etc.
